I think he would be just what we need to add the squad. He has proven ability and will be a real handful for defences at this level. I am sure he was around Headingley the same time as DP so hopefully he knows him already and what makes him tick to help persuade him to come our way .

Jesus! It wasn't long ago Thackery was in the GB team & was tearing SL sides apart. I find it hard to comprehend that rugby fans wouldn't know who he was or if he would be a good signing!! ability alone he would be a good signing for any of the lower half SL sides. However rumor does suggest hes is indeed difficult to handle and may well test DP to the fullest!

Thought he was going to be a world beater when he broke onto the scene but IMO has not fulfilled that potential.No better than what we have.

Bob, i cannot agree with you on this one , the lad has been in with the best and at times IMO MATCHED THEM, i realise ,not everyone will agree with me ,at least as good as what we have ,if not better than the majority, come on daryl sign him on

well if he is signing for fev, the club, players, agents, officials etc have done a better job of keeping it quiet than any other player we've signed this closed season cos no-one appears to know owt about him signing for us!I would guess he isn't a rover! Only a guess like!

Was talkin to tommy haughey last night and he was not offered another contract because dp told him there was no more room for forwards, so if he does sign then that would be harsh on tom! He was also saying how in a polite word 'upset' how he was treated, also prycey felt this way too! But he wished fev all the best and said he was very sad to leave.

This isn't the first time a player has been upset with the way they have been treated when not offered a new contract.Clearly they aren't going to be overjoyed however a pattern is emerging. One player in particular who used to play for us and who was a tad upset might haunt us this coming season both when we play his team and by leading them to a decent league position.

For what it's worth I was upset to see Tommy go. As for the reason for no contract offer there was "no more room for forwards" then if that's true it's a weak excuse as far as Haughey goes IMO. For large chunks of the season when forced to he played in the threequarters and was the only one who could make a break at times. Not bad for a forward, a true utility player that will be an asset in any team . Did he sign for Keighley in the end and did Pricey go to Barrow also??

perhaps phil, but that's always the case when players move on.I'm more than happy with the decisions daryl has made re the playing squad for this coming season.Both tommy and wayne both had indifferent seasons. Both could be world beaters on their day but both had too many 'off' days for those making the decisions. Some of the bretheren are keen tommy fans, same wi prycey. I just think both were too inconsistent last season.
